I started writing the story of Ruthie and Marcie yesterday. I'm on chapter 2 and there are all sorts of possibilities. I am enjoying it.

Yesterday they did indeed play Pooh Sticks (by the way that comes from The House at Pooh Corner and in Britain there is actually an official Poohsticks competition every year -- found that out yesterday too.

Today, I hope to finish the second chapter. The pictures above go with that chapter. That's Frank looking through the fence hole. And that is Marcie bringing balloons to Frank and Ruthie. Not sure why she has a mustache yet. Maybe she'll explain later. There are a couple of fairies in that picture and an old woman Ruthie thinks is a witch.

Neighbor Mr. Melbourne is pictured in this picture on your left. Though it isn't colored, he is wearing a white fedora, green plastic boots and his bathrobe. Ruthie likes the fashion risks Mr. Melbourne takes. He also has those white striped tube socks on. You can't see those very well. Mr. Mebourne is mentioned in the second chapter also.

One last picture for you -- the dog in the middle is Marcie's dog. I don't know his name yet and I don't know when he will show up in the story either. Above and on your left are my attempts at drawing Ruthie's cat Harold. She mentions him in the first chapter. Neither of those cats are Harold. But I'm getting close.
